mcsalty · 10th November 2010, 12:00

my drivers rear wheel is tilting in on my car is my axle on its way out allready ?

SAM-S44MDS- · 10th November 2010, 12:13

When was it replaced?
Was it new, second hand or refurbed?

IM_axles · 10th November 2010, 12:21

jack it up and check for play, its possible that you could of bent the stub pin, if youve hit a kerb etc, you will know if you jack it and check it!

Off topic but i got a refurb axel off you guys at IMAxles a few months ago. Fitted it all dandy and im getting play on the passenger wheel now. Im going to put 2 sets of bearing in there and hope it hasnt marked the stub pin. Got any tips for me when putting it back together to get it tight and play free? PM me

gavin_t · 10th November 2010, 17:47

How much play have you got? I was told they all have a little bit in them anyway

MR_N · 10th November 2010, 17:49

Only a little bit. But enough to notice holding the wheel at 12 and 6. Slight knock

gavin_t · 10th November 2010, 18:02

Mines just been refurbed incl new pins and has a little bit that you can feel with both wheels off the floor. But only about 1mmish

Also on a side note do both the wheels have to be off of the floor to feel the play?

mcsalty · 10th November 2010, 19:11

ive had the car jacked up and there is little/ no play but wheels still bent in a bit :/

Yeah, cant feel the play when its on the floor. Only about 1/2mm of play there, enough to feel it.

Can be just the shape of the body work against it. When mine was first done i kept looking back and thinking that they are still bent in. Optical illusion against the shape of the body

What have they said about it?

Do they give you any warranty? I'm thinking of buying one off them you see.

Chris_O · 11th November 2010, 00:52

I got a refurb axel off im axels recently, sure it's a 12 month warranty or 20,000 miles, whichever comes first

Paul^p · 11th November 2010, 00:57

20,000 miles isnt much really.

Chris_O · 11th November 2010, 01:00

I'd say 12 months isn't a lot as I only do about 5,000 miles a year in the vts lol

MR_N · 11th November 2010, 08:00

Im talking with Martin from ImAxels at the moment, and will feed back on what he says

IM_axles · 11th November 2010, 10:51

Sam's is still under warranty, ive said to him, if there is something wrong, we will replace it no problem.

Paul^p · 11th November 2010, 12:05

How much warranty do you give, just to clarify?

IM_axles · 11th November 2010, 13:09

1 years, providing you havnt had a crash or anything like that. Just keep the receipt with the car and we also have records here.
